Mr. John One Note

We have seen homes that tried to look like castles, and small homes that were castle wannabe’s. This, however, is the closest I’ve see to a real castle and it’s in Rochester, Michigan. 

There isn’t a moat, but the front entrance does mimic the look of a drawbridge.  

There have to knights in a castle. This one has a lot of wood, but it’s lighter than the dark medieval style. Owner’s preference. 

Of course, there has to be a grand staircase. 

And, a castle also needs a great room. 

The kitchen. 

And, the royal chamber.

This is what you see when lying in the bed, looking up.

This is the main bedroom’s ensuite.

It’s a relatively small castle, b/c there are only 4 bedrooms. In this, the 2nd bdrm., is a trap door in the floor.

Which leads to the 3rd bedroom. 

And, another bath.

The 4th bedroom. 

This is the home office with a loft and the door in bookcase is a safe room. 

This is a craft room with a drop down work table. The shelving also tucks away.

The hall of mirrors looks like fun.

The home has secret staircases and hidden rooms, but I don’t think that this one is a secret.

And, this is the bar. 

This looks like an interesting area. 

The garages are on the east side of the building.

The garage is very beautiful inside, also.

The gates look like they include watch towers.
